A portion of Allegheny County, Crescent is desirable for its access to a top-notch school district and is made up of an assortment of homes that can fit a variety of tastes.

New construction joins 20th-century homes in Crescent
The homes that make up present-day Crescent were mostly built over the course of virtually the entire 20th century. “But there’s a lot of new construction there,” says local Realtor Janef Duzicky of RE/MAX Select Realty. The new homes in Crescent include condos. Crescent’s houses come in an assortment of styles, but many of them have colonial and Craftsman style elements. Homes around Crescent range from under 1,000 square feet to close to 3,000 square feet, and most of them line quiet and hilly residential roads. The well-kept lawns around Crescent are part of lots of anywhere from 5,200 square feet to multiple acres. Homes often sell for prices from about $250,000 to $400,000. The list of available options on the market is often short, though. “It’s difficult to find anything. The inventory is low,” says Duzicky, a native of nearby Ambridge.
Crescent’s eclectic mix of homes reflects its unique history and growth.
Homes in Crescent range from $250,000 to $400,000, with new construction available.

Students attend A-rated schools in the Moon Area district
Duzicky says that some people come to Crescent because they want their kids to be able to enter the Moon Area School District, which has an A overall grade on Niche and is ranked in the top 15 on the site’s list of the best school systems in the Pittsburgh area. Crescent is close to the Moon Area School District’s Bon Meade Elementary, an A-rated school with kindergarten to fourth grade. Bon Meade students can participate in the Moon Area School District Elementary Choir, which has performed the national anthem at Pittsburgh Pirates games. The A-minus-rated Moon Area Middle is next, a school that has a dedicated math lab where students can receive math assistance before and after school. Moon Area High has an A grade on Niche and features a business and marketing department with classes in personal finance, entrepreneurship, sports and entertainment management, and international business.

Outdoor fun includes Ohio River docks and Shouse Park
Anglers and boaters can take advantage of Crescent's spot along the Ohio River. The area has multiple docks, and the river is known for its population of bass, catfish, walleye and more. Residents can also go to the township’s Shouse Park for some outdoor recreation, a space with a playground and three pavilions that can be reserved for a variety of events, from birthday parties to family reunions.
Shouse Park is a hidden gem along the Ohio River, offering play areas and three spacious pavilions.

Patrick’s Pub and nearby Robinson offer dining variety
An afternoon outside could be followed by a visit to nearby Patrick's Pub and Grille, a well-liked local haunt. Patrons enjoy Patrick’s Reubens and its shepherd’s pie. There are multiple TVs here, too, perfect for catching a game. Duzicky says that residents also head to Robinson Township for food, where there are many more restaurants. The Crescent area does have a Giant Eagle Supermarket, convenient for grabbing groceries for a home-cooked meal.
Patrick's Grille has a large indoor seating area, and also a bar and dining area on the patio.

Route 51 connects Crescent to Pittsburgh and nearby highways
Route 51 runs through Crescent, which connects to Route 65 and Interstate 279 for commutes to Pittsburgh, just about 20 miles away. It’s a bonus of what Duzicky describes as a friendly community, one with an eclectic mix of homes.
